Ordinary glues and gums are quite useless for leather work, because they almost invariably crack after a little use. By the use of the following cement, a perfect union can be obtained, and It will be found to be easier to tear the leather around It than to break the Joint asmnder. Take equal parts of common glue and best Russian isinglass, and soak in just enough water to cover them, for ten hours. Be careful to obtain genuine Russian Isinglass, ns there are many varieties, which are, however, quite useless for this purpose. After the ten hours, soaking in cold water, place the jar containing it in a Eaucepan of water and bring very elowly up to boiling point, then add pure tannin, stirring all the while, till the whole becomc-s ropy, and looks like the white of an egg. When required for use, slightly roughen the two surfaces to be Joined, smear with the warm cement, and clamp together under pressure.

SCORED OH THE CONSTABLE Official Very Much In Error When H Thought Motorist Didn't Know What He Vss Doina.

"I don't often make a mistake In my omeial calkerlations," admitted Constable Sam T. Slackputter, the redoubtable sleuth of Petunia, "but III have to own up that yesterday evening I pretty nigh done so. A stranger, that looked like he represented a fair-sized fine and a nice little fee, came along in his motor car, sorter wabbling In his progress and singing, 'My Irene Is the Village Queen. Rum-tum-tiddy ! Er-rum-flddy-tura V and so forth. "'Halt there!" says I. 'Considei yourself under arrest" "And b'gashed if he didn't stop and cuss me for everything he could lay his tongue to !

" 'For being so bone-dry drunk,' says I( 'that you don't know what you're doing V " 'Like torment, 1 don't I" says he. 'I'm cussiug out a blankity-blanked, mutton-headed, tin-starred boob!' says ie.

PORTER HAD FELLOW FEELING Witness of Osculatory Exercises Meant to Do Good Turn In Putting Gob Wise. The gob was on shore leave and nappy because he had found a girl as affectionate as he. ni3 joy was dimmed, however, for a bluecoat had forbidden spooning in the park and his girl had tabooed It in the streets. 3ut life took a new turn when he saw a man kiss his wife farewell In front of the Pennsylvania station, New York. He rushed his girl toward & crowd hurrying toward the Philadelphia express and bade her a fond farewell. When the crowd thinned, they joined a throng for Washington ard repeated the act. They repeated it again before the Chicago train. This was too much for a colored rorter who had beou watching. lie stepped up to the gol. "Boss," he said, "why don't you go downstairs and try the Long Island station? Dem local trains am a-leavin' mos' all do time !" Everybody's. Fire in a Gold Mine. All the pumps available, assisted by h newly blasted subterranean drainage tunnel, have been engaged for six weeks In drawing water out of a famous South Dakota gold mine. Meanwhile, of course, the mine and all its workes are Idle. The flooding, . costly at It has been, was not accident- j al ; two creeks and the water supply j of a good-sized town were deliberately ! turned into the shaft. Fire in a gold mine is unusual, but it occurred in this case because a vast accumulation of disused timbers had been stored in j a drive, away down at the 2,200-foot I level. A blasting operation Ignited the f timbers and the raging fire that fol- j lowed was only extinguished when the mine had been completely flooded. Working day and night. It is estimated that the task of drying out the mine will take another two months. Popular Mechanics Magazine. Fit Not Heeded. A rather plainly dressed young man went Into a furnishing goods store and asked to see a suit of clothes. "Oh, don't bother about fitting it, Just wrap It up as it is and, by the way, put in a hat." "What size, please?" "Any old number around seven will do." "Any ehirts?" ventured the clerk, wonderingly selecting a hat. "Yep, throw in thret or four, and ion't mind the size, for I was a private in the A. E.
